Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 So I practiced yoga, I practiced meditation, studied everything. I experienced every kind of experience that the books talked about -- samadhi, super-samadhi, nirvikalpa samadhi, everything. Then I said to myself "Thought can create any experience you want -- bliss, beatitude, ecstasy, melting away into nothingness -- all those experiences. So, this can't be the thing, because I'm the same person, mechanically doing these things. Meditations have no value for me. This is not leading me anywhere." A snip from The Mystique of Enlightenment. U.G Krishnamurti Bio of his transformation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is telling us that his mind and body cannot lead his mind and body anywhere. Not even Samadhi can prevent a mind from thinking it is something, like an ego, that needs to find itself when there is nothing to find because there is nothing to lose, except your mind. gp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
